### Synopsis

```bash
npm bugs [<pkgname> [<pkgname> ...]]

aliases: issues
```

### Description

This command tries to guess at the likely location of a package's bug tracker URL or the `mailto` URL of the support email, and then tries to open it using the `--browser` config param. If no package name is provided, it will search for a `package.json` in the current folder and use the `name` property.

### Configuration

#### `browser`

- Default: OS X: `"open"`, Windows: `"start"`, Others: `"xdg-open"`
- Type: null, Boolean, or String

The browser that is called by npm commands to open websites.

Set to `false` to suppress browser behavior and instead print urls to terminal.

Set to `true` to use default system URL opener.

#### `registry`

- Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
- Type: URL

The base URL of the npm registry.
